Beta & stress test

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Anyone else notice the drop down for the stress test was removed from the launcher? Any idea why?

Guessing won’t be anymore stress tests or maybe they will put it back on if they need another day of tests…

There are two more stress tests scheduled on June 19th and July 18th.

I also noticed the removal from the launcher.

Maybe they will put it back later with a less confusing name, like one for the closed beta that says “beta” and another just for the stress tests that says “stress test.” The would be an improvement of the name they were using that had both beta and stress test in it, which left people confused about whether they were just in the stress test or also in the beta.

/moo :cow:

I hope so. I know the drop down didnt go away between the 2 stress tests, but maybe it was because the 2 were so close together.

Our privileges have been revoked for not loving streamers hard enough.

Occam’s razor. The simplest answer is usually the right one. The simplest? We were only invited for the first test.

That’s a very sad, heart melting way to look at it.

Eh, the wording says that the subsequent stress tests will be used to get others into the testing, so it wouldn’t surprise me if those in the first aren’t invited to the second. We can hope that they just removed the flagging to clean up our account list until later but saddly I think they are just rotating through players.

Lots of people have.

Two options:

  1. They don’t want people constantly trying to log in and get access to an offline server for the next month.

  2. They are revoking all access and creating a new lottery next month with everyone getting a new, equal chance to get in.

Has your test account been removed from the Games list in your Battle Net account? If No, option 1 is more likely. If yes, option 2 is more likely.

I’m honestly kind of relieved.

At least it seems we won’t be getting into every stress test and others who were hoping for that chance still have one.

Account is completely gone from drop down and accounts page.

That likely means that they’ll be rolling out an entirely new set of invites (with some people getting reinvited) to give more people a shot.

I agree allowing more people in is a positive. Sad that it could be at my own expense though :frowning:

At least i had my time to shine!

Bump… Would like to know this as well

I’m still hoping for a full beta invite (yeah, unlikely) but an invite to the stress test would be cool. I didn’t get in either one. The stress test is helpful I’m sure, but having time to point out bugs and really test would be amazing. I love testing, because nerd stuff :nerd_face:

If the main value of the stress test is having players concentrated in the starting areas, it makes sense to start over with a new group and a wiped server. If they just continued on - most of us are way outside the starting zone now.

I reported a plethora of bugs. Examples:

  1. Weapon disappears in combat while in water and moving backward.

  2. Phasing happening with enemies.

  3. Enemies unable to be skinned after looted.

  4. When disconnected and logging back in, auto loot is uncheckmarked. It did fix when i logged out on my own. This may not be a bug amd may actually just be a saving of settings when logging out versus being disconnected.

  5. Game is too much fun and needs to be toned down a bit so i can still remember my job, family, and friends.

Sorry, it’s time to say goodbye to your loved ones and your career. There’s no room for either. Hard core wow and casual your life…

Also, if what you said here is accurate about giving others a chance, it should apply to beta as well, including the streamers, content creators etc allowing others a chance to enjoy… just sayin!

I reported a bug where I went to visit the Goldshire (demon) children in the house by the lake, but a large number of them were bugged physically standing inside of the bed/pillows.

The WSG battleground instance list would also give me a lua error popup if I tried scrolling down the list.

Oh and I saw a scorpid in Durotar glitch through the zep tower, and it got stuck underneath until it reset itself in front of the zep tower.

Maybe they made them more demonic and creepy?
